Chapter 1117: MSN Is Just a Little Brother

Why is it WeChat, instead of taking ready-made YY.

in the beginning.

There has been a long discussion about this matter internally.

At that time, many internal people believed that YY was a ready-made instant messenger, and it had already achieved success in China, so he could take it out to the world. And using the influence of Universal Technology to defeat msn, icq, etc., the company does not need to re-develop an instant messenger.

But later, under the guidance of Chen Yu, Li Nan made a decision.

He wants to develop an instant messenger that is completely different from yy.

Although yy is very mature, his maturity is built on the basis of pc.

Many of his businesses are not necessarily popular on smartphones.

And yy is a stranger social.

Although there is still huge potential for socializing with strangers, we can tell you from the experience of Friends.com that socializing with acquaintances is the future.

WeChat is an instant messaging software for socializing with acquaintances.

And how to work hard on instant messaging of acquaintances.

The first step is to build a WeChat friend system based on the mobile phone address book.

That is to say.

The registration mechanism of WeChat is no longer the same as before, it is to apply for an account through application number or letter registration.

WeChat registration adopts the method of mobile phone number verification.

That is, your mobile phone number is your WeChat ID.

And how to add friends.

You can import your mobile phone address book into WeChat, and add the WeChat accounts of friends in the phone address book.

"Mr. Li, I have great confidence in our WeChat."

Zhang Xiaolong said firmly.

"Oh, Xiaolong, tell me what you think."

"I have no opinion."

"Then you still say that."

Li Nan showed an expression of being defeated by Zhang Xiaolong.

"Mr. Li, mainly because I remember what President Chen said."

"Mr. Chen..."

Speaking of President Chen, Li Nan was a little surprised: "What did President Chen tell you?"

"Actually nothing. At that time, I was eating in the cafeteria, and Mr. Chen happened to sit at my table, and then we chatted together during the meal. Mr. Chen said that in fact, some overseas Internet giants look strong, but in fact they are paper tigers. Even, once we meet, we will find that these overseas Internet giants are just little brothers."

"Little brother?"

Li Nan couldn't help laughing: "Do you think msn is the little brother?"

"Anyway, I believe what President Chen said."

"If Mr. Chen said that our WeChat can get 10 million users in a month, do you believe it?"

"Mr. Chen said the same thing."

"No way, did Mr. Chen really say that?"

"Um."

Zhang Xiaolong nodded in confirmation.

A few days later.

Universal Communications, a subsidiary of Universal Technology in the United States, officially released a brand new instant messenger, WeChat.

Unlike other instant messengers, and also different from other companies.

Although WeChat is not well-known, although WeChat is just an instant messenger that has just been launched.

But as long as he wears the word "Huanyu" on his body, he is so eye-catching.

Li Nan, head of Universal Communications, just held a press conference, and more than 100,000 people downloaded WeChat that day.

Although they do not know what kind of instant messaging software WeChat is.

They don't even know what WeChat does.

None of this matters.

The important thing is that he can be released by Huanyu Technology.

In it, there are those super fans who admire Huanyu Technology very much.

In it, there are also some spectators who saw the news and wanted to try it out.

In it, there are also a series of competitors from Huanyu Technology.

Microsoft, America Online.

One of the two products is msn and the other is icq.

In the US market, there is no doubt that the usage rate of msn exceeds that of icq.

But in the global market,

The usage rate of icq is much more than msn.

But no matter what the two instant messengers are, they are much more powerful than the nascent WeChat.

Not only are they stronger than the new WeChat, they are even stronger than YY in China.

Generally speaking.

With a newly launched instant messenger like this, it is impossible for him to attract the attention of WeChat and AOL.

It is not too difficult to develop an instant messenger, as long as an undergraduate computer programmer can write an instant messenger.

but.

It's too hard, too hard, to bring an instant messenger to the world.

so.

After the launch of i, they hardly encountered too many opponents.

Although msn lost to yy on the Chinese side, that's why msn was launched later than yy.

But……

If this instant messenger is launched by Huanyu Technology, it is another matter.

Even if he just launched it, even if he doesn't have many registered users yet, Microsoft and AOL paid attention to WeChat for the first time.

In addition, the person in charge also downloaded WeChat and tried it out.

"WeChat."

Staring at the WeChat downloaded on Lizi's mobile phone, msn president "Joseph" quickly registered with his phone number.

The way the phone number was registered didn't surprise Joseph too much.

Because many companies have done this.

only.

When "Joseph" signed up and tried it out, Joseph found a setting that surprised him a lot.

In the column of adding friends, there is a column that says to add mobile contacts.

At first Joseph didn't know what that meant.

After he opened it, he found out.

It turns out that this addition is to add friends in your mobile phone address book as your WeChat friends.

Social acquaintances.

At this moment, Joseph thought of Friends Network.

Friends Network is a social network developed among acquaintances, and has been promoted to the world.

Unexpectedly, WeChat has also learned this trick.

Moreover, their trick is even more clever.

Although Friends Network is a social network for acquaintances, the way they add friends is obviously not as convenient and accurate as WeChat.

WeChat is based on the mobile phone address book.

That is to say.

You can instantly turn all your real friends into your WeChat friends.

As for you worry that they won't add it, or others haven't opened WeChat.

It doesn't matter.

For friends who have not opened WeChat, you only need to remind them. Then the system will send a text message to your mobile phone address book friends, and when your mobile phone address book friends successfully download and register WeChat, then you can get a $1 referral reward.

You may find it difficult to recommend.

No.

You just need to click, and the recommendation is complete.

If you have more than 100 or even hundreds of friends on your phone, and you click them all, maybe you can earn a few hundred dollars.

certainly.

That's not the point.

Not to mention the money reward, even if there is no money reward, you may recommend a friend in your mobile phone address book to use WeChat.

Although Joseph is the president of msn, he is very knowledgeable about instant messaging.

He clearly knows, for example, when you really want to chat with a real beauty, but you can't always call her? What to do then?

The best way is to recommend an instant messenger to her.

Then, you can chat whatever you want in instant messaging.

Talk about what you want to talk about.

All right.

The above is not the point.

The point is: the next trial completely shocked Joseph's eyeballs.
